Monkfish livers are rightly touted as the foie gras of the sea. Nialls Fallon, Leah Campbell and Nick Perkins, restaurateurs and lovers of fine tinned seafood, are importing a delectable alternative: cod livers from Iceland. Use the smooth, buttery pieces as a spread on toast, to top grilled fish or to fold into pasta sauce. But once you open the can, use it all; it doesn’t keep well. The livers are one of three seafood products sold by Minnow, a new offshoot of their restaurants Hart’s, Cervo’s and the Fly. Lovely little sardines from Spain and wild Bristol Bay sockeye salmon are also available.
Minnow Wild Sockeye Salmon, $13.99 for 7.5 ounces; Minnow Cod Liver, $8.99 for 4.3 ounces; Minnow Sardines, $10.99 for 4.2 ounces, minnowworld.com.
